This Commission Implementing Regulation establishes specific output indicators for monitoring the implementation of the General Product Safety Regulation (EU) 2023/988. It creates a framework for Member States to report data on their market surveillance activities, resource allocation, and enforcement measures related to product safety in the EU market.The Regulation consists of three main articles and an Annex. Article 1 establishes output indicators, Article 2 sets reporting obligations for Member States starting from December 22, 2026, and Article 3 contains entry into force provisions. The Annex details six specific output indicators that Member States must report on.The key provisions include:
- Member States must report on resources allocated to market surveillance authorities, including staff and budget
- Data on consumer complaints and compliance checks must be collected and reported
- Information about mutual assistance requests between authorities must be tracked
- Statistics on corrective actions and penalties imposed must be maintained
- Reports should be consolidated across all market surveillance authorities in each Member State
- Member States can provide data in aggregated form and avoid duplicate reporting if information is already available to the Commission through other channels
The Regulation emphasizes efficient data collection while minimizing administrative burden. It allows for flexibility in reporting methods, including the use of standardized templates and electronic formats. The Commission will compile the collected data into annual public reports to monitor the effectiveness of product safety measures across the EU.
